Let's be honest... paying attention in class is not always the easiest thing to do. So this week I decided to write down all of the thoughts I had during an hour long class. Here are 45 that I jotted down in my notebook while I was pretending to take notes.

1. It’s early; why am I here?

2. Wow, I’m so tired.

3. Every time I blink I'm scared I’ll fall asleep.

4. STAY AWAKE!

5. Let me plan my day.

6. I’ll make a to do list in my notebook so it looks like I’m taking notes.

7. Should I go to the gym?

8. I'm kind of hungry, so maybe I should eat instead of going to the gym.

9. I’l definitely go to the gym tomorrow.

10. What time can I nap today?

11. If I nap, will I have time to watch Netflix?

12. I’m definitely gonna have a lot of homework, so how many episodes can I binge watch?

13. Should I go to the library?

14. That’s too much effort--it’s all the way across campus.

15. But if I go to the library I’ll definitely do my work and then I’ll have more time for Netflix.

16. Wow, I really need to get my nails done.

17. Oh my gosh, my stomach just growled so loud. I hope no one heard that.

18. Who am I kidding? The kid next to me definitely heard that.

19. My face is definitely bright red.

20. OK, shift in the seat so it looks like it was just a noise from the chair.

21. Oh no, another growl is coming.

22. When is this class over? I need lunch.

23. I wonder what I’m gonna have for lunch today.

24. I should try and be healthy, but that’s no fun.

25. OK, I should really try and pay attention right now.

26. I wish I cared about what my teacher was lecturing about.

27. Don’t look at the clock again, it’s barely moved.

28. I can’t sit still.

29. I have an idea: Let me try and take notes on whatever the teacher is talking about.

30. Wow, the girl across the room really needs to stop participating so much.

31. Wait a second, maybe I should be participating more.

32. No, that’s too much. It’s too early. I’ll start participating next week.

33. Wait, how many days until the weekend?

34. Am I gonna go out this weekend?

35. I’m running out of money though.

36. Maybe I should get a job?

37. Oh gosh…a job. What am I gonna do when I graduate?

38. Focus!

39. Stop thinking and just listen to the professor.

40. I wonder what my professor does on the weekends.

41. He definitely has kids.

42. Aw man, now I miss my family.

43. I should call my mom when this class is over.

44. When’s the next break? I want to go home.

45. Five more minutes, you can do this!
